Abstract
Most applications in the ever-expanding automobile safety arena can be categorized in one of two ways: (a) accident prevention and (b) occupant protection. This is for accident prevention.
With this application there will be 360 degree brake lights on a vehicle; two units mounted on the front of the vehicle below the vision of the operator, one on each side and a unit mounted on the right and one mounted on the left side of the vehicle in front of the front door and behind the front fender well (preferred location). All of the rear (red), front (blue), and both sides (blue) are energized to emit light 360 degrees when the brake system is applied.
